maybe you should check with the seller first before purchase. if basics like DOA is not even taken care of, it's an issue.

if it's just bad switches, that's easy to fix. but if the problem is from things like pcb then it's another story already.

for those who are interested, here's the list of custom keyboards that support switch hot-swapping that i know of.

1. Kira Mechanical Keyboard, form factor: compact full-size, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lekash...ard/description
2. Massdrop CTRL, form factor: tkl, https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-ctrl-...anical-keyboard
3. Massdrop x Tokyo Keyboard Tokyo60 Keyboard Kit, form factor: 60%, https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-tok...60-keyboard-kit
4. Rama Works M60-A, form factor: HHKB-style, https://ramaworks.store/products/m60-a
5. XD002, form factor: 2% (2-key), https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=94867.0

edit: the last one, well, supports macros programming

Can anyone recommend any RGB mechanical keyboard around RM300 with Blue or Brown Cherry switch? Preferably with numpad...

sorry but your budget is slightly off for new boards with cherry mx rgb. you can top up a bit to get non-led ikbc c104.

hi im trying to decide a new keyboard.. i'm having a hard time deciding between vortex pok3r, anne pro, ducky one tkl or filco majestouch 2 tkl.. which one would be better suited for both gaming and lots of typing for a novel.. noob here

have you tried any of them at a shop or something? it's better for you to do that first.

personally i suggest filco tkl among the four.

I believe from a usability stand point, both of those TKL boards will be a better choice. You should give them a try first as Horns mentioned. Anyway, my first board was a brown switch if I'm not mistaken. I thought it's like a middle ground between the reds and blues. hehehe...

New caps just came in. First time trying DSA profile. It's easier than SA profile, at least for me.
Caps is obviously not perfect (from a price point perspective, I guess it's okay?). Some obvious misaligned keys is killing me. My OCD is off the chart whenever I look at it. hahaha...
If you are interested: DSA Laser Etched

*yes, it's laser etched legends on PBT. Not the thickest PBT as well.

sweet

dsa profile, like sa profile, is nice looking. wait what do you mean by 'easier'?

edit:

trying mix-and-match with different sets. i suck lol

Easier to type on compared to SA. Perhaps I'm used to lower profile compared to high profile.

got it. that's what i suspected for a long time.

unfortunately i have bought a set with sa profile and it's on its way. well, i will just keep it as reference if it's not working out for me lol

Maybe if you use it along with a wrist rest then it's not as much of an issue. I tried with wrist rest but I don't like to rest my wrist on something. So, I really think it's just personal preference.

gotcha .. you know any shop around KL that has these brands for me to test?

well i will know when it's here. yes of course it's an individual preference

hi guys

just bought my first mechanical keyboard from Wayne yesterday

just need some info

normally where is the best place to buy keycaps?

or its better to just order online? if its online, what are the keywords to search specifically for keycaps only?

as i tried to search online but most results offer a full keyboard with high price

you can try out lowyat plaza. there are some shops, hence a better collection of demo units. i think you should check out switch types first.

i dont know where there are coz last i heard they oledy moved. but they have the most kibod koleksyen i ever saw(for a physical shop).

find for Ultimate Zone

fuh, legend is here.

anyway, onlinetaobao is the way to go.
there are others like,
Kaya Shop
Not so kaya shop

ull find more as u browse thru.

What legend.. not legend

I kuli only

Anyway I'll check it out

They solely sell keycaps right? Haha
